THE COURT OF APPEAL
[press association telegram.] WELLINGTON, November 14. At the sitting of the Court of Appeal to-day, judgment was reserved in the case of the Now Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co. v Patterson McLeod. The case of J. P. Maitland, Commissioner of Crown Lands, Otago, v D. H. Mervyn was gone on with. The question involved is whether the Crown has any remedy against a deferred payment selector by action for the
instalment of purchase money, and whether forfeiture is not the only remedy under the Land Act of 1877. The appeal is from the decision of Mr Justice Williams, giving judgment upholding the demurrer to the first count of the plaintiff’s claim. Mr P. E. Chapman, Dunedin, appeared for the defendant in support of the demurrer ; Mr Haggott (with him Mr Stout) for the pjaintiff in support of the declaration. The case will probably finish to-morrow.
